Certain types of foods can cause an allergic reaction. According to legislation, there are 14 major allergens which may need to be mentioned through provided information when they are used as ingredients in food. It is therefore very important to be able to provide the customers with allergens information when they order food at a restaurant.
Allergens are represented by attributes and by using a set of POS commands, they can be shown on the POS in a look-up panel for one line or all lines in the journal. Item modifiers are included, deals and deal modifiers also, and the allergens attributes for recipes are calculated from their ingredients.
The Item Finder can be used to find items without certain allergens.
